Individual Details

Lodowick was the son of Gysbert Op Dyck (anglicized to Gilbert Updike) and Katharine Smith of New Netherland, Long Island, and possibly Kingstown, Rhode Island. He was baptized in New Netherland (now New York) on 10 June 1646, and one of his four sponsors was Richard Smith, his grandfather. He was married by about 1690 to Abigail Newton, the daughter of Thomas Newton and Joan Smith.

Lodowick held various roles in the civil and military matters of the Rhode Island colony. In 1687 he was a Lieutenant in the militia, and the same year and following year he served on a grand jury. In 1696 he was a deputy, presumably representing Kingstowne.
